I've done ones at the back which are not that hard - assuming you can get them undone. The steering pivot point could be the idler (?) which is also not a big job. Are you doing this yourself or getting a garage to do it?

Its this:

it sits on the offside of the steering mechanism. But you need to confirm that is what he failed it on. I would think its a half hour job for a garage to change.

I know there are 4 short pieces of brake pipe at the rear (those are what I have done in the past and access is not a problem.) Has he listed which pipes they are?
